5 Thesis Statements On Fashion

Fashion Industry is on dramatic restructuring in response to changing
economic conditions to business trends and to consumers whose purchasing
patterns vary from time to time. The rapid
globalization of the industry, influence of the electronic-information age,
flexible rather than mass production, and social responsibility issues among
others are some of the challenges facing the industry in the next millennium.
One of the primary functions of professional education is to assist the industry
in these times of change and produce well-educated and effective labor force
qualified people who are ready to cope with the incredibly fast restructuring of
the marketplace.

The new
millennium is expected to usher in higher level of
fashion consciousness. The direction is going to be strengthened through
retail revolution which will finally come. National branding, which has been
elusive in the case of women's wear, will impact the western women's wear and
even ethnic wear.
Branding will become prominent for several related lifestyle products also.
Children's wear will continue to be dominated by regional players but will
see larger number of foreign brands entering this segment. The demarcation
between export and domestic sectors will disappear considerably and more
companies will be involved in both the activities. Internet marketing and direct
marketing will heavily influence the fashion scenario in the coming years.
Fashion is pervasive force, inter-linked lifestyle products will also be
affected by fashion. Newer automobiles, fast moving
consumer goods, entertainment industry and
information technology will create fashion frontiers and marketing avenues.

Accordingly,
fashion design refers to applied art as dedicated to
clothing
as well as lifestyle based accessories as duly created within social and culture
noted influence and domain. It has been recognized that nowadays,
even though French, Japanese and American fashion are leaders in fashion styles
but sill
Italian fashion is considered one of the high known elegant in fashion
design and essence and has been in the fashion circle for the last decades. In
addition, fashion
design is considered to have started in the 19th century with Charles Frederick
Worth
(Tranberg Hansen, 2004) who was the first person to sew their
label into the garments that they created. While all articles of clothing from
any time period are studied by academics as costume design, only clothing
created after 1858 could be considered as fashion design.
Fashion designers design clothing and accessories as it can be that some fashion
designers are self-employed and design for individual clients while, other
fashion designers cater to specialty stores or high-fashion department
stores.

Fashion
designers create original garments, as well as those that follow established
fashion trends. Most fashion designers work for apparel manufacturers, creating
designs of men’s, women’s as well as children’s fashions for the mass market.
Designer brand like, Guess, Giordano or Marks and Spencer are to be designed by
team of individual designers under the direction of designer director.The
beginning of new millennium and certainly at the end of the last century the
present, the ‘now’ moments, and the huge curiosity and longing for ‘tomorrow’
and an even more remote future were major influencing factors in fashion.
Looking back did not make sense, we wanted to live in the now. Actuality was
very important because the world changed so quickly, there were so many new
developments, and we had high expectations of the new time and ‘the new economy’
(Tranberg
Hansen, 2004).

The need to
define and understand what constitutes fashion design and how fashion design has
emerged in today’s time, such as recognizing several fashion trends in the new
millennium. The need to place in literature organization on fashion design in
certain imperative and salient points to tackle with. The aim of research is to
